  • I do web dev and I can say I was super guilty of this back in the 2010s. I bit the hype hard, and now we’re getting right back to the circumstances that made ie such a POS to work with. (In my defense, I got my dev job in 2013 and had to develop for ie6. It’s not a good defense, but I think that really lead to my overhype for google. I had no knowledge of chrome’s bloated whale carcass days, so it always felt like the browser that “just worked ™”)

    Market monopoly inspires evil in the good intentioned. Market monopoly also inspires nefariousness in the evil.

    I’d say this is the sort of thing that inspired Google to remove the “don’t be evil” from their guidelines.
